How is everyone doing work wise these days?

I have been mostly freelance for the last 23 years, and doing really great for most of those years. Last year the company I was perma-lance for for the last 5 years started having issues paying and after some discourse I left my position with them.

Since then, around 6 months ago now, I have worked for only 2 weeks. So this is rather concerning and scary. So, instead of feeling isolated and wondering if this is just a ‘me’ issue, I want to know how the rest of us are doing right now in this climate.

How has work been for everyone?

  • Work has been great - no noticable decline in jobs
  • Work has been semi regular (working 50-75%)
  • Work has been slow (working 25% of normal)
  • Work has been almost non-existent (not working)

End of last year was very slow for me. Now it is getting better I feel.

TVC is kinda weird right now but we’re staying mostly busy. I wish I had more work for my freelance friends.

seems a little slow, but feels like it’s improving. I hope I’m right; I have no other skills. Haha.

I have been extremely busy lately. However, I’m not doing TVC. We (the shop I work for) does a LOT of trailer and marketing and promotions for some of the big streaming services. We have a decent sized staff, so unfortunately we’re not overflowing yet.

Okay so sounds like more of a case of musical chairs, where I missed my chair :see_no_evil_monkey:

23 days late on here, but I worked with Jan for 5 years and every second of it was an absolute pleasure. If you have any freelance needs coming up I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him most highly. You’ll love having him on your project and the work will all be great.
